This Japanese style meteorological observatory, known as the Pagoda, is on the site of the original observatory which had occupied the site since the opening of Alexandra Park in 1865. The pagoda was built in 1899 to commemorate the golden jubilee celebrations of the Incorporation of the Borough of Oldham (see Image'>Image). It is a Grade II listed building (http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-388865-observatory- British Listed Buildings).
